Thunder Bay Drenched as Rainfall Warning Brings Intense Overnight Storm
Let me tell you what just happened here in Thunder Bay — because if you slept through it, you definitely missed one wild night. The city was hit with a significant weather event, as Environment Canada issued a rainfall warning that had everyone watching the skies and roads with concern. We're talking up to 75 millimetres of rain , most of it falling in just a few hours overnight. That's not just a heavy drizzle — that’s the kind of downpour that makes you second-guess leaving your house without a kayak.
Thunder rumbled through the city, lightning cracked across the sky, and rain came down in sheets. While the worst of it hit Monday night, it didn’t leave without a trace. Puddles still line sidewalks, lawns are squishy underfoot, and roads have a glossy sheen of leftover water this Tuesday morning.

Environment Canada warned that most areas would see around 50 mm , but some pockets, depending on their location, took the full brunt of the 75 mm estimate. Thunderstorms were embedded in the system, making some spots even more intense than others. For residents west of Lake Superior, the worst wrapped up early Tuesday, but it lingered a bit longer to the east.
The danger with a storm like this isn’t just getting caught without an umbrella. Flash floods were a real threat, especially in low-lying areas where pooling water created travel hazards. If you were out driving, you probably had to slow down just to navigate safely. Localized flooding was reported, though fortunately, no major incidents seem to have occurred.
By early Tuesday morning, the rain eased off, leaving behind misty skies, saturated ground, and cooler air. As of 6 a.m., it was 15°C with 100% humidity, which is less than ideal if you’ve got plans to spend time outside — or if you were hoping for a frizz-free hair day.
What’s next for Thunder Bay? The rain tapers but doesn’t vanish just yet. Today we’ve got cloudy skies, a chance of more showers, and a humid high of 26°C. So, if you’re heading out, be smart: waterproof shoes, layers, and definitely don’t forget the sunscreen — that UV index is still surprisingly strong at 8.
Nights ahead look calmer, with lower temperatures and only a slight chance of lingering rain. But for now, the big event is behind us, and the city is doing what it always does — drying off, shaking it off, and moving forward. Just another day in Thunder Bay, where weather is never boring and nature always keeps us on our toes.
